Know What’s Below! As you jump into spring yard projects, such as planting trees, installing a fence, or any other project that involves excavation, you must call 8-1-1 to notify utility companies 3-10 business days prior to digging. Each utility company with underground lines nearby will mark the approximate location of buried utilities with colored paint, flags, or stakes. The call before you dig process helps to prevent injuries, property damage, and inconvenient utility outages.
You may also submit your request online at www.pa1call.org. The call is toll free and the service is no cost for homeowners digging on their property.
